STA Fellows

Fellowship is granted to those individuals who have dedicated time and expertise to furthering knowledge and developing others in the technical analysis field.

Fellows are often purveyors of leading-edge research having written books, research papers, or having contributed a significant amount of time to the STA via course module composition and or lecturing. Just 2.5% of STA members are Fellows, illustrating the prestige associated with the FSTA designation.
